Manchester United’s pursuit of Andre Onana isn’t going as smoothly as they’d have hoped.

The Red Devils have spent the past fortnight actively working on a deal that would see Onana make the switch to Old Trafford this summer, but talks between them and Inter Milan have seemingly hit a roadblock.

According to the Daily Mail, the Serie A club are demanding a fee of £51 million to sanction the goalkeeper’s exit just one year on from his arrival, whilst United are unwilling to pay above £43m.

United face FFP concerns

The report adds that due to FFP restrictions, Erik ten Hag has been limited to a budget of £120m in this transfer window, which must be spread across a number of positions if United want any chance of competing on all fronts next term.

For now, a new ‘keeper and a striker is the utmost priority. David de Gea’s exit means the club must oversee his replacement and the forward position is one that needs strengthening significantly.
